The name of the blog escapes me right now.<br /><br />Your position doesn't make sense, that they are abandoning the Democrat Party, not Obama. <br /><br />Why would any self-proclaimed Dem be leaving either at this point?<br /><br />Doesn't make sense, unless it is Dems like Krugman that are more concerned with the policies than the Party. That doesn't even hold up, as I can understand a few Dems being upset with a policy or two, but not overall to "leave" the Party. <br /><br />Something is missing.wamknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27612105.post-63631096371581023402009-04-30T17:30:00.000-07:002009-04-30T17:30:00.000-07:00People aren't abandoning Obama at all. Check this ...People aren't abandoning Obama at all. Check <A HREF="http://www.gallup.com/poll/117598/Obama-Averages-Approval-First-Quarter.aspx" REL="nofollow">this</A> out. They are identifying less as Democrats, which is fine with me. Obama has dropped from historic highs to the high side of normal, which is also fine with me. Tell the truth, the historic highs creep me out a little.<br /><br />I'll grant you that even I think the Right will get back into power sooner than I said, but I'm certain it won't be 2010 and probably not 2012. You don't have the momentum. As bad as you have tried to make Democrats look, it's been at the expense of making you even worse.piker62https://www.blogger.com/profile/10976799832683250524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27612105.post-58155706703928721672009-04-30T15:46:00.000-07:002009-04-30T15:46:00.000-07:00Not sure if that is quite exactly what the Founder...Not sure if that is quite exactly what the Founders had in mind. I think they were in favor of checks and balances, as opposed to a soft middle, which changes it's collective mind at the drop of a hat.<br /><br />As power shifts, as it naturally does, the losing side gets beat up, beat down, then regroups. I recall not too long ago, people were ringing the same death knell for Democrats, that is now being rung for Republicans.<br /><br /><br />In your overwhelming joy at the decline of the Republican Party, I suggest you also take note of the drop on the Democrat line as well. These are folks that voted for the winner, yet are now abondoning that same person 100 days into his term.<br /><br />Why? <br /><br />It's not a surprise to see a drop in the losers numbers-they are upset, feel disenfranchised, unrepresented, etc. But what is the explanation for someone jumping off the winning horse?<br /><br />Not being snarky one bit, by the way, genuinely curious.<br /><br />And if your taking bets on if it's going to be "twice as long" before the Right takes back the reins of power, I'll happily take the "under" on that bet.wamknoreply@blogger.com
